[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize To (51–60)
One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a female band that gives the impression of having lots of cute songs.
While vocalist Miyazaki usually sings solo, you can hear light harmonies here and there—at the end of the A verse and in the chorus.
The vibe is like softly humming along while playing the guitar.
The chorus also repeats the same phrase, and there are more lower harmonies than upper ones, so it’s easy to pick them out if you listen with earphones.
Even if you’re not confident with harmonizing, these songs are gentle and easy to sing along with once you get used to them—so hang in there, harmony beginners!
Our Canon (VS. Chevon)Toukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
This is the theme song for the Sunday drama airing in the April 2025 season, “Dame Mane! – Managing a Hopeless Talent –.” As with most dramas, the timing when the theme song kicks in near the end is just perfect, and since this song has no intro, I was moved every time by vocalist Mayu Tanikinu’s gentle voice.
As you listen, the unison one octave below in the chorus really stands out.
This serves as an important foundation in the low end! The way the chorus comes in after the C section with call-and-response is also lovely, so I’d love to line up the timing and sing that part too.
Basically, the harmony is sung one octave below, so it might be too low for some women, but be careful not to strain your throat.
Marigoldaimyon
This is Aimyon’s fifth major single, released in August 2018.
As for the harmonies in this song, the chorus arrangement is basically built with lower harmonies against the lead vocal.
The harmony structure is simple, so in that sense it should be relatively easy to sing harmonies to at karaoke.
However, the lower harmony part tends to get pulled along by the main melody, so please watch out for that when singing it at karaoke.
I also think it’s a song where it’s important for the two singers’ timing to be perfectly aligned.
River of Ten Thousand MilesCHAGE and ASKA
This was CHAGE and ASKA’s third single, released on September 25, 1980.
It was their first single to break into the Top 10 and went on to sell over 500,000 copies—a big hit.
Many of you are probably familiar with how active they were in the industry afterward! The song features a memorable melody with a touch of Oriental flavor, and together with its lyrics it evokes the image of a great river flowing across a vast landscape.
Both members of the duo are highly skilled vocalists, so in that sense it might be challenging to pull off in karaoke.
However, when it comes to harmonizing—the theme of this article—the arrangement is originally set up for two-part chorus, so it isn’t overly complex.
It should be relatively easy to pick out the chorus parts from the recording, so please give it a try.
Just be careful to match your timing perfectly when you sing.

As my longing desiresyama × Kitanitatsuya
This is the first collaboration song between yama, who is also active as a member of the rock band BIN, and Tatsuya Kitani of sajou no hana, released in September 2023.
It serves as the image song for KONA, the electric vehicle from the Korean automaker HYUNDAI.
While it’s produced in the style of a male–female duet and the vocal track processing is quite elaborate—so at first listen some people might feel it would be hard for the general public to sing at karaoke and harmonize cleanly—most of the song is arranged so that the male and female parts can be sung in octave unison.
So by all means, feel free to pick it at karaoke and enjoy.
YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA
This is CHAGE and ASKA’s 31st single (originally styled as チャゲ&飛鳥 at the time of release), released in March 1993.
It became a hit as the theme song for the popular drama “If He Turns Around, He’s There,” starring Yuji Oda.
While the song is fundamentally built on two-part vocals by Chage and Aska, the released recording layers multiple takes of their voices and even adds female backing vocals, so perfectly recreating it at karaoke can be quite difficult.
But don’t worry! Even though the production piles on many vocal layers, the song basically works with two male parts: the main melody and an upper harmony (likely a third above).
For karaoke fun, reproducing just those two parts is more than enough.
If the harmonies in the verse sections are tough, everyone can simply sing the chorus in unison and still have a great time!
Surely more than anyone else in the worldNagayama Miho & WANDS
A collaboration single by singer-actress Miho Nakayama and the rock band WANDS, released in October 1992.
It’s a mid-tempo pop song that strongly reflects a hallmark of ’90s hits—an extremely catchy chorus melody that sticks in your head—and it’s very well-suited for karaoke even if you ignore the harmony parts.
In terms of roles within the song, Nakayama handles the lead vocals while WANDS’s Uesugi takes the chorus parts; each part is easy to pick out, making it an ideal practice piece for mixed-gender harmonies.
It could be fun to sing as a couple with your boyfriend or girlfriend!
